Like the walls I've built, my sanity is crumbling.
In the back of my head, my conscience is mumbling...
Trying to scream at me to get out,
But it's words are lost within my doubt.
Lost behind my towering fear,
And it's promises to never let me out of here,
Of this state of not living but breathing.
I'm too anxious to change, too anxious for leaving.
So I'll knuckle under the skyscrapers I've built.
I'll put your needs first because of my guilt.
The egg shells underneath my feet are cracking,
Probably from all the courage I'm lacking.
This looming depression weighs me down,
So much that the egg shells break and I drown,
Drown in this ocean of emotion,
Drown because I can't handle all this commotion.
So I'll let you suffocate me with your toxicity,
Whilst I succumb to your duplicity.
